Thursday, April 19, 2018 - BYOB 2018-04-19 - Blind tasting (Göteborgs Vinkällare): Deep ruby color.

Rather youthful nose with great intensity to the aromas. Pitch black cassis fruit with some green bell pepper, tobacco and toasty oak spice. It remains a bit muted through the whole tasting.

Full bodied ripe, modern and fruit-driven but not without structure. Truckloads of stylish fruit and expensive oak. Very intensive flavors but they feel a bit blurry right now. Long finish.

Not so impressive today and will probably need another 5 years or more in a cellar to fully open up. Patience will surely be rewarded because there's some undeniable potential here.
